Musicals are written and then rewritten. Those things used to happen on the road. Now they are done in New York during preview performances.

There are some actresses who cannot function on the set without having a close relationship with their directors. Their way of communicating with the director is through intimacy. It doesn't necessarily have to do with any physical act; it has more to do with achieving a closeness that they find very valuable.

The rehearsal period is so far away from the time when the scene will actually be shot that very little is remembered.

It seems to me that everybody who's a success has made a decision to put themselves in a situation that eats away at their privacy. Their hours just don't end. Now, with actors it's extreme, because their privacy is almost nonexistent.

For writers that rehearsal period is death. It is the most destructive thing of all to a script.

I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is called a disgrace, that two are called a law firm, and that three or more become a congress.
